HI BEAUTIES, REMEMBER TO SKETCH YOUR LUNCH BEFORE YOU EAT IT. HAVE A NICE DAY

Most days I leave the office for my lunch hour and find some place to sit and draw something. On Monday this week I didn’t have anything in particular in mind, so I simply reflected on the moment. Where I was sitting, what I was eating, and how much I was enjoying my birthday, even though it was a Monday, and even though I hadn’t given myself the gift of a day off.

I compiled these things, and some thoughts, and some goals for my 34th year into an illustrated journal page. I’m very happy with the result. I did the sketching and linework en plein air, and added the watercolour at home.

I felt brave and documented the watercolour process on my Instagram stories. I then compiled the clips here using the Apple Clips app.

HI SISTERS! TODAY WE ONLY HAVE A PICTURE BUT AN INTERESTING COGITATION TOO. MAYBE YOU WILL LIKE IT.

Throughout the history of feminism, feminist theory has always been shaped by women’s lives around the world. Feminism and all theories that purport equality, look at the world and its governments and institutions and attempt to look further and look at how the world should be. Recently, with the women’s march in March and the scourge of sexual harassers in media and politics, the fight for women’s rights has risen another notch. Women are demanding an equal world. However, as women’s rights achieve progress, new legislation in the US breaks down environmental protection laws and deregulates environmentally harmful practices. What use are equal rights if there is no longer a healthy Earth in which to practice them? French feminist Françoise d’Eaubonne coined the term Ecofeminism in the 1970’s as a way to bring attention to the ways women and…

HI BEAUTIES ! HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT, WHAT IT WOULD HAPPEN WITH A COCKTAIL BETWEEN DISNEY AND DALÍ? ENJOY !#

We all know who these two artists are. Yet, If you don’t know who Walt Disney is…well, sadly you’ve been living under a rock, a mighty big rock…for the past 100 to 125 years. And, if you don’t know who Salvador Dali is…then you aren’t as cultured as most educated individuals claim to be. (you all know who I’m talking about.)

Anyway, I’m one of the many predictable young adults that when the topic of any Disney film, I mean any film, comes of topic amongst her friends, or those alike; an oddly innocent and childlike excitement fills the air around us, as we reminisce about the “old” days. The days when the vhs player put us to sleep at every sleepover, the days one of our favourite characters really made appearances at birthday parties (only because Sally’s mom ‘knew’ Snow White’s hair dresser) and when those super hot footsie…

But it didn’t fail entirely!]]>

HI BEAUTIES! THIS IS A MIGHTY DRAWING. SOMETHING YOU COULD ACHIEVE IF YOU PRACTISE AND SUNDAY CAN BE A PERFECT DAY TO TRY IT. CHEERS!

How does a naturalist-artist find herself painting Victorian dresses? I’m not sure, except that I found the fantastic fabrics and fine details of the new exhibit Well Dressed in Victorian Albany quite irresistible. The gowns in the collection of the Albany Institute of History & Art are so exquisite, they make perfect artistic subjects. Unfortunately, the museum didn’t allow watercolor in the gallery, so I was restricted to pencil and pen, and had to paint later…which took away a bit of the fun. Nevertheless, this was a valuable exercise. Painting drapery requires mastery of line, volume, form, and value. I went for a fairly graphic look, with bolder blacks for the darkest areas. Had I been able to paint initially, I probably would have skipped the bold lines in favor of more subtle watercolor.

I was particularly drawn to the incredible details of collars and cuffs. I wanted to see…
